Story
We all know how it feels to want people to like us, to approve of us, to accept us. It’s part of what makes us human. And there’s nothing wrong with wanting to support other people and help them satisfy their needs. The problem comes when we give up our own needs along the way. Because when we give to make others like us or approve of us, to shore up our own sense of self-worth, to feel needed or to avoid painful emotions, then we give to get. And rarely do we get what we really need.

A simple and accessible plan for success, based on seven scientifically tested steps that really work. We're often told to dream big, the sky's the limit and that nothing is impossible. While it is undoubtedly good advice to set yourself goals that have the potential to make you and those around you healthier and happier, how to reach those goals is often less clear. From getting fit or securing a new job to becoming a better manager or parent, simply setting your mind to something will rarely get you where you want to be.

Drawing on a dazzling array of scientific evidence, psychologist Richard Wiseman presents a radical new insight that turns conventional self-help on its head: simple physical actions represent the quickest, easiest and most powerful way to instantly change how you think and feel.

Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease.

Summary
Solve for Happy is a startlingly original book about creating and maintaining happiness, written by a top Google executive with an engineer's training and fondness for thoroughly analyzing a problem.
In 2004 Mo Gawdat, a remarkable thinker whose gifts had landed him top positions in half a dozen companies and who - in his spare time - had created significant wealth, realized that he was desperately unhappy. A lifelong learner, he attacked the problem as an engineer would, examining all the provable facts and scrupulously following logic. When he was finished, he had discovered the equation for enduring happiness.
Ten years later that research saved him from despair when his college-age son, Ali - also intellectually gifted - died during routine surgery. In dealing with the loss, Mo found his mission: he would pull off the type of moonshot that he and his Google [X] colleagues were always aiming for - he would help 10 million people become happier by pouring his happiness principles into a book and spreading its message around the world.
One of Solve for Happy's key premises is that happiness is a default state. If we shape expectations to acknowledge the full range of possible events, unhappiness is on its way to being defeated. To steer clear of unhappiness traps, we must dispel the six illusions that cloud our thinking (e.g., the illusion of time, of control, and of fear); overcome the brain's seven deadly defects (e.g., the tendency to exaggerate, label, and filter); and embrace five ultimate truths (e.g., change is real, now is real, unconditional love is real).
By means of several highly original thought experiments, Mo helps listeners find enduring contentment by questioning some of the most fundamental aspects of their existence.

A very disappointing, if predictable end...
I picked up some great tips from this book, don't get me wrong. However, given the title, I expected a little more from the author's main point than "There is life after death".
I can't help but think that all the arguments and strategies that came before are undermined after he reveals that actually, the only idea that really helped was the belief in an afterlife.
There were hints of this throughout. Namely, when talking about the sense of self and who you are, he goes into a lot of effort to say that there is more to you than your thoughts, body, and desires. Rather than completing his train of thought and simply saying there is no such thing as the "self", he just says you are the "observer". Great. Well done, you've replaced one word with another, worse analogy for a soul.
This is just one example of the ideas in this book not being followed through because of an underlying restrictive belief system. I was actually becoming quite angry at some points because of fallacious logic or incomplete discussions.
There is a whole chapter dedicated to god, in which he outlines the good-old appeal from randomness argument. He goes to a huge amount of words/effort to state that the universe is complex and therefore there is a god (and therefore, inexplicably, an afterlife).
I just wanted to shout at him: complexity is NOT randomness! His arguments are deliberately misleading and harmful.
Basically, I learned a lot about my beliefs after reading this book, mainly in opposition to his.
The take-home points from this book, which I have taken to heart, are essentially:
1. You are not *just* your thoughts
2. Distract yourself with happier thoughts
3. Happiness is the default state, not something to *acquire*
4. Be present in the present
These four points are good enough. Save yourself 11 hours, stick with those 4 points.

Life changing!
I was recommended this book by a client of mine and I am so grateful for the recommendation. This story is so powerful and Mo’s views on life and death have been simply life changing for me. I’ve always had an agnostic outlook but Mo’s views on whether we are just here as a chance event or by design have really resonated with me. I’ve listened to the various beliefs and religions, but nothing has struck a chord with me like this book has.
I am so grateful for Mo presenting his thoughts and beliefs in such a clear way for others to benefit. He’s had to experience a hugely challenging situation and to turn that whole situation into something for the huge benefit of others is just amazing.
Thank you for this book Mo.

Excellent...up until the last chapter
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Delete the chapter on God. When I first started listening to this book I thought it was fascinating, insightful and endearing. Mo's story and his logical approach to finding the solution to his happiness was convincing and I was totally sold...Until I read his chapter on God. Out of the window went the logic, reason and insight and in came a set of arguments that were so misinformed it made me angry. it was like I was listening to an audio tour at a creation museum.I was so disappointed that someone who's ideas and arguments seemed so intelligent and persuading throughout the rest of the book resorted to the weak and uninformed arguments of a young earth believer.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
His approach to thinking about what really matters was inspiring, his opinions on a higher power were not.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
yes, the narration and passion was felt throughout.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
No

Recommended to everyone
I rarely write reviews, but this book is fantastic.
Mo has a quirky narrators accent, which at first seems a little strange compared to the professionally narrated audiobooks. However, as you get used to it, you realise that this adds so much to the book. It’s a personal story of tough life experience that has brought tears to the eyes of the toughest of my friends. Mo has a real scientific brain and methodically creates and solves the happy equation. It’s an absolute joy to listen to and a down to earth, antidote to the rah rah, grind harder, go crush it rhetoric of many self development books. Listen to this book now. You will not regret it.

One to reread as so much contnet to process
I have read many "self development" and business books over the years, this one would be in my top 5 books to read. The content is powerful and written in a way that is engaging, amusing and honest. I kept reading and going..yea that's how I am!
It does get a bit ither worldly in parts but just stick with it and enjoy the story as much as the content.
I found it very personal and really enjoyed Mo reading it.
Inspiring and have recommended to many people since reading it.

Little bit disappointed..
This book has some interesting concepts in it. I enjoyed listening to the author and I respect that he has found an equation that works for him. However for me there were too many places in this book that contradict. I would forgive these contradictions if the book didn't start from a science and maths approach and then try to prove god and afterlife by an initial distortion of a scientific theory and then layering on maths to develop the distortion. For instance the book’s “many random events that created the universe” against “an intelligent designer”. I'd don't think anyone would view evolution or the universe as random, there are forces/rules/laws guiding it...just not an “intelligently” aware being... I understand why he has built this mental model to help him be happy and some of what he wrote will help me be happier. I am grateful having listened to the book and thank him for writing it. However, the solution he came to for dealing with afterlife won’t work for me and I’ll keep on searching.

One Of The Best - No, Actually THE Best
Where does Solve for Happy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This will become a classic. It's easy to listen to, intelligent, fresh, and most of all very personal and touching. I will listen to this over and over, as there is so much in it.
What did you like best about this story?
The intelligence, the new perspectives and the enlightenment flowing from it. I've read literally hundreds of this type of book. From now on, this is the only one I'll recommend to others.
Which character – as performed by Mo Gawdat – was your favourite?
na
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Lots of moving moments, but the mathematical analysis of randomness in evolution was (for me) something that changed everything for me.
Any additional comments?
Thanks, Mo, for putting this into words. It was an honour to hear it in your own voice.

The best book about happiness ever
This man does not claim to be a guru. His ideas are there to be challenged and explored, but I loved his delivery, his voice is delightful and his ideas made me think. It was a wonderful listen.

Emotional and rational at the same time.
I loved this book. Mo was such a familiar voice. Poignant and thought provoking. Highly recommended.

Great story, audio quality disappoints
I started this book in paperback but switched to Audio because I noticed that I couldn’t get myself to sit down and read.
I love the story but I notice that it’s almost impossible to hear him well if you’re on the road..
@Audible, is there be any chance that the overall audio level is increased on this book?

Great book!
The book provides an understanding of life principles and happiness in ways that most books cannot convey. The engineering approach to happiness mixed with an emotional story of who and what inspired the author makes this book one that anyone can relate to. I would recommend this to anyone. Thanks Mo!
